Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown says the city is going to pursue “every legal avenue” to get buses running again after striking workers blocked an essential transit facility for a second consecutive day.
Some 1,200 workers represented by CUPE Local 831 walked off the job on Thursday, and some have since set up picket lines outside the Brampton Transit facilities, preventing buses from exiting.
“Right now, our local CUPE is asking for demands that are completely out-of-whack with what we’ve seen accepted elsewhere. But those are essential workers who don’t have the right to strike and there’s danger pay inherent in their profession,” Brown said. “Our enforcement officers face dangers every day, as well as other front-line workers. That’s something the city seems to kind of want to ignore or avoid.”
